Need help about certification in oracle 9i DBA track

Hello there everyone.
I don't know whether this topic I am posting is allowed or not, but I really need some help. I am doing my BSc computer science second year and I have just started studying SQL now. I always wanted to achieve oracle certified certificate. So I am planning to do Oracle 9i DBA track associate level and then professional level. I will be doing it from oracle certified institute.
But as I have just started SQL language now, so I don't have much experience in SQL. So what do you people suggest? Will it matter anyway to wait for some months or do now as I am gonna join that institute and they are gonna teach me all the topic.? Or should I wait for experience?
If anyone of you have given that exam then please say something about your experience. I will be really very helpful.
Regards,
Prajit.Nair.

Absolutely! I started with 10g because that is the primary release in use at my employer; although we also have some 9i and some 11g in use. So it made sense for me to start with 10g. But if I was just getting started with Oracle, I would start with 11g. An 11g cert is still valuable to employers using 10g or 9i; in fact they may prefer it since they will not have to pay to upgrade your skills when they do upgrade Oracle.

  • Need help about ref cursor using like table

    Hi Guys...
    I am devloping package function And i need help about cursor
    One of my function return sys_refcursor. And the return cursor need to be
    join another table in database . I don't have to fetch all rows in cursor
    All i need to join ref cursor and another table in sql clause
    like below
    select a.aa , b.cc form ( ref_cursor ) A, table B
    where A.dd = B.dd
    I appeciate it in advance

    My understanding is that you have a function that returns a refcursor and is called by a java app.
    Because this is a commonly used bit of code, you also want to reuse this cursor in other bits of sql and so you want to include it like table in a bit of sql and join that refcursor to other tables.
    It's not as easy as you might hope but you can probably achieve this with pipelined functions.
    Is it a direction that code should be going down? yes, eventually. I like the idea of pulling commonly used bits of code into a SQL statement especially into the WITH section, provided it could be used efficiently by the CBO.
    Is it worth the effort given what you have to do currently to implement it? possibly not.
    what else could you do? construct the sql statement independently of the thing that used it and reuse that sql statement rather than the refcursor it returns?

  • Need help about 1015

    need help about 1015 it says connect iphone to itunes on screen i did it but it doesnt work and says unexpected 1015

    Try restoring it: Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter.  Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again.
    If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    If you have backed up the iPhone in the past, select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".

    Thanks.You'll sit on your bum and ruin your back again with most IT jobs. With your government shrinking, OCA qualification won't have much worth unless you personally know someone in the private sector that needs help. An operator job with your petrol company (assuming it's not just a mom 'n pop station) would probably require heavy lifting.
    IT is a good, solid, growing career path, but most of the work is still programming, and most ways up to better jobs go through that experience. You might be an exception if you have a way to join other skills with your IT education, such as business analysis or sales or web prettyfying. Perhaps the determinants are your personality and goals.
    I know, it's tough, but if you are honest with yourself and check out some of the "what color is my parachute" kinds of career advice books, you can find a happy medium. There actually are some benefits in starting a career during economically troubled times, but you only see that in retrospect. You have to decide on goals, pursue them vigorously, and reevaluate when it doesn't work for you.

    Hi everybody,
    how i can capture the name of an object before it inserts in a table.
    i will use a pre-insert trigger to do this, but i don't know how to specify the name of the object that's inserting.

  • Need help for switching to Oracle Apps

    Hi All,
    I am a System Analyst working in Singapore for the last 6 yrs.Currently for the last 3+ years i am in the project implementation & support team for ERP Team.We are using JD Edwards.Currently i have the role of Functional Consultant.
    I want to shift to Oracle Apps (11i).The reason being there is not much scope in JD Edwards.Intially i was working in Developer 2000 as a Forms/Reports Developer.
    I couple of questions to ask :
    1) Do i need to go though a Oracle Apps Training as i already have experience in Jd Edwards ??
    2) Can somebody recommend some good Training institutes in Singapore with Placement Assistance ??
    3) Do anybody knows any company in Singapore who can give training in Oracle Apps and take in professionals who want to make a switch but have experience in another ERP package ??
    Thanks
    Regards

    Hi,
    As you said you were initially working on Developer2000 so it would be lot easier since there would enough background on PL/SQL,forms and reports.Best thing for you I would recomend is pick 2 or 3 modules of your area in JD Edwards like Financials(General Ledger,Recievables,Purchasing,Payables,Fixed Assests...) or HRMS Suite(HRMS,Payroll,Advanced Benefits) which I believe the core business logic for any ERP would be the same. So pick your strong modules in JD Edwards and go through the Oracle Apps Doc. which is available online.In the documentation you will find Application Developer Guide which will be helpful if you are looking to be an Technical Person or you can go through the Module wise documentation if interested in Functional position. Either case better to have overall idea about interested module I mean how the logic and setup will be.
    Initially it will be rough however if you don't give up Apps is lot easier.
